Nursing School Realistically

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

We're all here going for the same goals. We're all taking pre reqs, making sacrifices, volunteering, studying like crazy and doing whatever it takes to have all of our ducks in a row to even meet requirements to apply...

Realistically we all can't get in but that doesn't mean we all won't get in. I wanted to start a thread of the realities of this field from what I've learned. Because even if you have a 3.8gpa, volunteer 3 days a week, go to all the open houses, do amazing on the entrance exam you still may not get in.. and it has absolutely nothing to do with you... It's the nature of the beast!

for those who feel crushed...Keep applying!!! your time will come and if you want it bad enough it will happen no matter how long it takes. Feel free to tell your stories for those students who feel defeated... it could be a great thread to keep spirits up..

Ok back to my flash cards for Microbiology =)

OMG Congrats kayruhh :yeah::yeah: You are the reason why people shouldn't give up!! 6 times is alot Did you change anything this time?

I knew a guy who got rejected from every school the first time he applied. Second time around, he applied to 12 schools and got into 1! But that's all you need, right? Just 1.

I feel so lucky that of the 7 schools I applied to, I got into 4. I feel like I won the lottery or something. I know it's not typical. The good news is that I will decline 3, so there will be 3 people out there who will be accepted. Maybe after thinking it was over for them.

Nope! They took students with 176 pts or higher! I had 180. Lol.

Wow, I am starting to get a little nervous. I wasn't worried about getting into the program at my school because I have a 4.0 and the dean of the nursing school told me not to worry... Now I think she was just feeding me BS so I wouldn't change my mind. I go to a small private university and the nursing school is kind of what it is known for. Eeek!!! I hope I get in!!
